@bertaprouddad: Alberta NDP outrage is manufactured. Albertans have paid privately for certain medical services for years. They were silent until they realized they could use it to scare their base and score political points. #AlbertaPolitics #CanadianPolitics #AlbertaHealthCare

Canadian guy :

lucky you

M JQ :

really quick

Greg :

If you’re going to criticize policy, at least start with the facts. Private pay diagnostic services existed in Alberta before this premier. What’s changed is the scope of private access to some preventative tests, while necessary tests ordered by doctors are still publicly covered. If you oppose those changes, say so, but don’t pretend private options were invented yesterday. Facts make a stronger argument than slogans.

AHS is ridiculous, takes forever to get anything figured out

Bigphilly🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦 :

Oh man, don’t get me started to fucking WCB. I hurt my back when I was 19. I’ve had three spine surgeries hurt my back. Been to work for over 30 months now where is WCB nowhere to help me?

Slough Donkey :

I have had a CT scan within days when on WCB compared to waiting 1 year through my family doctor.

ZooterEGT :

They don't get it. They don't understand that ANY medical office without an AHS logo on the door is a PRIVATE medical practice and some, like GPs, bill the province for their time.

Kym🇨🇦 :

and if you pay to get a MRI, thats one less person on the "free healthcare" lineup which will shorten the wait time. it's wild to be upset about this!!

LisaKroeger24 :

We need a splat shirt lol

Muffy 🖤♠️♣️♥️♦️🃏 :

Exactly

Jack Boyer :

You could get a private MRI earlier than that because I took my daughter for one. I think she was three years old so 35 years ago. This isn’t about that they’re spreading lies because they’re losing. Not to mention they’ve already lost their minds.

marijakovacs :

the problem is I work for Healthcare. I have something to say . we are heading towards rich and poor. if you have money you will get treated if your poor good luck get treated

Filledtothegills :

They’re the Alberta version of Pierre poilievre always complaining

user88963724939 :

🐾Emmehhh🐾 :

Ummm, it was a 1-2 year wait for an MRI. I needed one ASAP. I paid!!

gcoville :

Pat M 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 :

Got Your Six :

My health doesn’t matter the cost

GardenTart :

Do they seriously think that the Oilers and the Flames and the Olympic athletes and ohhhh the politicians themselves WAIT for medical treatment????🙄

DARREN :

Had an accident. insurance call me you have MRI TOMORROW at noon.. oh.. ok

ronpasieka5 :

I have a huge family history for cardiac problems. I paid for my own virtual angiogram and found some concerning findings. I’m no under the care of a cardiologist even though my lab values and stress tests were normal and no signs or symptoms. Did it because our system is broken, I’d be in the ER with a heart attack before seeing a cardiologist.
